Question
ssh root@server Permission denied (publickey).
Why find .ssh/iddsa file. there is no such a file. just idrsa.
So the issue is that I can login to my server just fine using:
ssh root@SERVER_IP_ADRESS
But when I try to login with a user I created from root:
ssh USERNAME@SERVER_IP_ADRESS
5
I get:
Permission denied (publickey).
The steps I went through before this.
SSH generated a key
Created an Ubuntu 16.04 droplet with given SSH key.
SSH into server with root
$ adduser username
usermod -aG sudo username
OpenSSH7.6p1, LibreSSL 2.6.2
